CONFIFORMM - synchronization of smartfield "on delete" not working properly

[Marek Wilczewski]

Hi,

I have 2 forms:
Form1 with a smart clasifier field (ref) pointing at Form2 and text field (name)

and Form2 with smart checkbox field (group) pointing at (Form1) with a filter ref:[empty] OR ref:[entry.id]

Additionally I have 3 IFTTT (on create/change/delete) which synchronize fields in Form1 when the relation in Form2 is created.

In most cases everything is working fine. When I add an entry in Form2 with some elements from Form1 and save I'm not able to add the same elements to next item, when I unselect them then I can add them etc.

Problem start when I have an element with a relation in From2 and delete it. Then it Form1 it shows the ref field is empty, but I'm not able to add those elements to other items (like others which already have an relation). 

I think there is a bug during deletion of element in relation of smart field.

Hi

Not sure I understand the problem you are reporting - can you set up the data and explain step by step what needs to be done to "reproduce" what you are seeing?

[Marek Wilczewski]

Create few elements in Form1. For example elements "1", "2", "3" and "4"

Create element in Form2 and add two elements from Form1. 

When You try to create new Form2 you will see only two other elements like it should be

but. when you delete entry in from2 which will contain relation to entries from Form1 in the Forms1 you will see elements without relations. But for some reason filter will still treat them like they will having relation to something 

So if elements in Form1 don't have any relations, why not all of them are listed? Looks like synchronization on delete is not setting them as [empty] for some reason.

Thank you, it helps

We have identified the issue and will include a fix in the next app update

I'm having the same issue...was a fix included in the latest release? Don't see anything about it in the release notes. I'd have to ask admin to update the app for us, so don't want to ask if the fix isn't there yet.

This will be fixed in the upcoming 3.18.4

Alex-

I tested the "Synchronize Smart Fields" functionality with 3.18.4 using this Libraries and Books example: wiki.vertuna.com/spaces/CONFIFORMS/pages/180945550/How+to+use+the+Synchronize+smart+field+references+ConfiForms+IFTTT+action.

The delete function seems to work better, but I think I have issues with the modify function now. Looks like the records aren't synchronizing correctly after a change, changing data on the wrong record. Is it possible a new bug was introduced with the change?

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

What scenario specifically is not working for you, @Max Marshall ?

[Max Marshall]

I haven't tested everything, but one that  I notice for sure:

I have Book 1 and Book 2 and Library 1 and Library 2. When creating the records I have no issues and both books are available at both libraries and the library records reflect that correctly. When I edit the Book 1 record to remove it from Library 1, it is instead removed form library 2. Thus the book 1 record shows it available at Library 2, the library 1 record still shows Book 1 available, and library 2 no longer shows book 1 available.

Edit:

After:

You are right, something seems to be gone out of hands with a recent change. We aim to get this fixed in the upcoming 3.19. Sorry about that
